Garden and Site Update 25th July 09
It’s been a bit of a strange month this month, we have had some scorching weather followed by floods and torrential rain so one minute the plants in the greenhouse are cooked and crispy the next they are under water. Last week i spent an hour removing water from the greenhouse in buckets after a […]
It’s been 16 days since my last confession…i mean update
I can’t believe it’s been so long since i posted on here, things are pretty hectic here and ive been busy working away on the new website in my spare time. the garden has also gone mad with the weather causing everything to shoot up and grow like crazy…well apart from the chilli plants which […]

Amongst other things i finally got round to fixing the greenhouse, after some nasty little kids chucked some rather large bricks at it. […]

Little b*st*rds
It’s that time of year again (just over a year since it last happened) when some little b*st*rds decide they have nothing better to do than throw stones at peoples greenhouses, 3 different panels this time and not as quite as bad as last time but very frustrating. I guess it could have been worse, […]
Bought: Onion Sets
I bought some onion sets today as i tried to grow onions from seeds last year and failed. Onion sets are little baby onions that you plant and they grow into bigger onions, it really couldn’t be easier. […]
